Alex West Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I've been searching for German silver or nickel-silver sheet to make new ends for a concertina with wrecked ends. I've been trying to get a specification of 65% Copper, 18% Nickel, 17% Zinc - at least this proportion of Nickel under advice from a respected maker. It's not proven easy to obtain and certainly not in the size and small quantity I need - 2 sheets of around 200mm square at a thickness of 20SWG - .036" or 0.914mm. There are places in the US which have this grade in 300mm squares, but to get 2 ends, I'd have to get 2 sheets and there's be a lot of waste. I found one place which has offered to do a special order of 10 sheets at 200mm square - but I only need 2 (4 at the most). Is there anyone who would need or want the remaining 6 sheets for their project(s)? Contact me and we can discuss pricing, postage and all those things if you're interested Alex West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Thorne Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Alex, I might be interested in a couple. What sort of price would they be, assuming you reach the required 10 pieces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex West Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Clive UK price would be around £35 per sheet. The quote (only valid until 30th April 2024) is $315.50 plus around $60 for postage from US plus a bit to cover UK postage at an exchange rate of 1.25. I'm not looking to make a profit on them so if they come in cheaper, I'll pass that on. I imagine that the quote would be revalidated beyond 30th April if we get interest beyond then Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex West Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 I've got enough takers now so I'll get them ordered today. I'll probably have a couple of spare sheets if anyone else is interested Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
